From Wikipedia:
The Lower Ninth Ward is a neighborhood in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. As the name implies, it is part of the 9th Ward of New Orleans. The Lower Ninth Ward is often thought of as the entire area within New Orleans downriver of the Industrial Canal; however, the City Planning Commission divides this area into the Lower Ninth Ward and Holy Cross neighborhoods.
The term "Lower" refers to its location farther towards the mouth of the Mississippi River, downriver, "down" or "below" the rest of the city. The 9th Ward, like all wards of New Orleans, is a voting district. The 9th Ward was added as a voting district in 1852. The Lower 9th Ward is composed of Ward 9 Districts 1, 2, 4, and 7 which make up the Holy Cross Area and Ward 9 Districts 3, 5, 6, and 8. Higher voting district numbers in the 9th Ward (8-27) are on the upriver side of the Industrial Canal. The area came to international attention for its devastation in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

As a New Orleans native seeing this sickens me to my stomach! After almost 20 years since Katrina parts of the city still looks like a dump!!! Yet the residents still tolerate this crap it's unbelievable what people are willing to tolerate and accept. This has to be a special kind of evil to allow your voter base to live like this shameful.

[@devintaylor8702]

AMEN IM ORIGINALLY FROM NOLA IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE HOME LOOK SO BAD LORD HELP 🙏

[@gee747]

Sorry yall are dealing with this. I've never been to New Orleans but hoping to visit one day.

[@dianecarman1979]

No money , no banks , no businesses, = no jobs

[@citypopFM]

It's not about the people tolerating it, they're largely poor and have no means to or voice to get the state or federal government to help. People need dignifying jobs that pay a living wage.

[@klouse7643]

Tf are they supposed to do get up and leave? They live in poverty most people in the lower 9th don’t even own cars

[@EzequielFerrari22]

Looks good! Asfalted streets, garbage trucks, street signs, garbage cans, spacious houses, lots of green areas (Even tho the day is cloudy and it looks like autum season)... Maybe there are no enough side walks, but most people seem to have at least one car per house... overall it's pretty decent, even for USA standarts.

[@jeice452]

Yes. I've seen worse

[@Roadtripmik]

It may look good from the car, but its a likely dangerous, looks can be decieving, it did look better than I expected, but still a flooded/impoverished area

[@klub1uk]

This is heart breaking to see. How can governments (state and federal) truly believe this is how people should be living?! There are people still displaced by the hurricane longing to come home and this is all that's been done nearly 20 years after the disaster!

[@klub1uk]

@Donnell Okafor might want to check yourself before you come for me. I never said I spoke for anybody else. However, I DO know people who are still displaced and DO want to go home so I shall speak for them, because nobody is listening to them apparently!

[@klub1uk]

@Donnell Okafor Oh so you're assuming that because I'm white I can't possibly know black people from the lower ninth ward, keep assuming. I don't care where you're from or what you think you know, I go by the conversations and emails I have with my friends, stop trying to gatekeep because you're from there. This conversation is done!

[@webstercat]

People don’t seem to mind it

[@paleo704]

[@melissacarterpresley5786]

@webstercat, yeah, I'm seeing a lot of virtue signaling in this thread.

Nice to see my Old Hood since I Move To Paradise Island 🌴🌴🌴 #Memories

Where’s Paradise Island?

[@jaybirdstarks7838]

New Orleans gotta a lot of cleaning to do & unsolved hazards too

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Yeah it’s been a long time since Katrina and it looks like there’s still much work to be done.

[@user-hl6wj7tz3y]

I'm shocked by how much better the streets are in the ninth, compared to those in the Quarter, mid/downtown. Honestly, many streets in the aforementioned look like a war zone.

[@julinalilly7439]

Nice neighborhood drive in New Orleans

[@TEEMILL81]

I am thinking the empty lots and high brushes is definitely where caused by devastation of Katrina and it is sad.

[@johntaeowens1248]

Yeah

[@covid19deltaextrarewardspr88]

The USA spends way to much on the military industry complex and I still don't feel any safer.

[@ronday4210]

That was awesome 👏🏽

Man our neighborhood ain't the same only the strong made it from over there💪🏿💯

[@catherinedavis149]

Grow up on tupelo and Florida its sad to see nothing much change since Katrina. Damn shame

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Yeah looks like this place is almost frozen in time.

[@melissacarterpresley5786]

@catherinedavis149, That's what happens when people are too lazy to take some initiative and would rather sit back and blame the government for not doing what's not the government's responsibility to start with.

[@KMaN5150]

People saying this looks bad should go look at detroit lol

[@silverhawk24]

Great video Louisiana Mike hey while your down there I recommend going to popeyes

[@w-josh]

They have the best chicken sandwich (in my opinion)

[@MileageMikeTravels]

@@w-josh I agree with you there

[@variousJnames]

These residents rarely helped themselves. Waiting for state handouts, wth has Louisiana ever done for anyone but their own politicians?!

[@nicanonn6840]

Low 9th isn’t that bad a area some pretty spots up there get a great view of the city skyline

[@bigr2871]

Lower 9th is horrible. Avoid if you are a tourist. Worst ward of New Orleans as far as danger is concerned….

[@nicanonn6840]

@@bigr2871 maybe 8years ago nowadays it’s just like anywhere else in the city everywhere has a lot crime no where is that terrible i should be moving around there soonI haven’t seen nothing terrible there

[@nicanonn6840]

@Donnell Okafor nice moving around gentilly terrace in February

[@paulaajohnson2597]

Rotting old flatland houses just sitting there, waiting for the next levee breach. It's inevitable.

Make 1 driving thru all the wards from 1st to 17th, after katrina allof that was underwater?

[@klouse7643]

I’m from Houston and went to go visit New Orleans a week ago and honestly, aside from downtown New Orleans most of the state looks like shit. Every so often you drive by a river or lake that kinda eases your eyes after looking at all the swamp everywhere.

[@tmark8822]

Im from the nine in the desire the bricks

[@wheatberry]

So many empty lots. And almost no stores of any kind - where do people shop for the basics ? Homes with huge spaces in between ... wow.

[@storytime8805]

What in the Heck is going on Down their My God it is 17 years since Katrina hit n in parts it still looks like a War is going on also I saw ALLOT of houses that were boarded up no on living in them n then also I saw ALLOT of houses with roof Damage why is it still like that 17 years later now I know after Katrina everyone had to leave out cause the city was unlivable but what Happened did they not come back what is going to happen to the neighborhood so very Sad

[@suburbantrapqueen3244]

[@user-hl6wj7tz3y]

These houses with blue tarps were damaged during Ida, not Katrina.

[@luciatamargo8920]

Not that bad, look at Detroit.
